CMB Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Helping out with the haymaking. Mostly involved throwing bales onto the stack and standing on the accumulator & opening release gate when necessary. I did get to cart one load back to the barn but generally took a back seat to the more experienced drivers Oh well one day maybe.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
